CC-TAPIS FOR STUDIO OMECARA

CC-TAPIS PRESENTS FLORENCE BY STUDIO OMECARA

With the Florence collection, Studio Omecara reimagines the rug as a sculptural field where drapery, body, and nature converge. Monarch, Venus, and Heart form a triptych in which textile moves beyond decoration, becoming surface, volume, and image simultaneously.
Rather than referencing art history, the collection reactivates it. Drapery—once used to represent the body in religious painting and Baroque sculpture—becomes an autonomous subject. The body is absent yet persistent, shaping tensions and densities, turning fabric into a displaced form of incarnation.

Hand-tufted in 100% wool, each piece occupies a liminal space between textile, sculpture, and painting, where matter itself becomes narrative.
Heart condenses this language into a compact, biomorphic form, echoing both the symbolism of the organ and the visual language of accumulation. Its dense surface reflects the excesses of contemporary textile production, transforming waste logic into sculptural presence.
Venus introduces an anthropomorphic yet abstract verticality, referencing archaic fertility figures such as the Venus of Lespugue. Textile becomes skin and origin, evoking a pre-classical iconography where form is symbolic rather than representational.

Monarch unfolds like a textile altarpiece, its layered draperies recalling Florentine painting. Here, textile absorbs the logic of painting, translating narrative and lineage into interwoven folds that suggest continuity, inheritance, and growth.
Together, the three works position Florence as a reflection on material memory, where textile becomes both body and archive, between history and contemporary condition.
